This is a really good recipe – and very easy to put together. What will surprise you is that the sauce is made from leftover cola – you won’t taste it but it will tenderize the meat and give a really nice, sweet flavor.You start the ribs in your slow cooker and finish them on your grill, using the sauce – try them soon and let me know how you liked them!
